Orion Health Confirms Plans for Significant Growth in Bangkok

           With a major investment in a new world-class development facility and by extending their partnership with Bumrungrad International, Orion Health is committed to expanding their current presence in Bangkok.
          Orion Health has confirmed its long-term commitment to the South East Asian eHealth market, with a major investment in a new 1000sqm2 facility and plans to double their staff numbers in Bangkok.
          The Sukhumvit facility gives Orion Health the ability to hire an additional 50 resources in the coming six months and take advantage of multiple market opportunities throughout the region. The new hires will work on further developing Orion Health’s globally recognized Hospital Information System in collaboration with their flagship partner in Bangkok: Bumrungrad International.
          Bumrungrad International is an internationally accredited, multi-specialty hospital located in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. Founded in 1980, today it is the largest private hospital in Southeast Asia, with 538 beds and over 30 specialty centers. Bumrungrad offers state-of-the-art diagnostic, therapeutic and intensive care facilities in a one-stop medical center. 
          Bumrungrad serves over a million patients annually. Over 520,000 are internationals. They include thousands of expatriates who live in Bangkok and nearby countries, plus visitors from 200 countries around the world who come here for treatment. English is widely spoken. The hospital has a medical coordination office staffed by doctors, nurses, and interpreters who serve the special needs of international patients. 
          Bumrungrad is a public company traded on the Thai stock exchange. It has been featured by CBS's 60 Minutes, NBC’s Today Show, Time, Newsweek, and other international press as a leader in medical tourism. 
          “Bumrungrad International is undoubtedly a leader in transforming how healthcare is delivered. It is fantastic that we get to work closely with such a world class health facility and have the opportunity to help them continue to deliver exceptional patient experiences” – Orion Health CEO, Ian McCrae.
          Orion Health's Hospital Information System (HIS) provides Bumrungrad with an enterprise platform to run and manage its daily operations. The HIS is integral to how patients are managed and clinical care is delivered. The Orion Health platform has helped Bumrungrad become a world leader in Healthcare Delivery enabling many benefits including significant reductions in patient waiting times, laboratory and radiology processing times, as well as a reduction in the time it takes for caregivers to view and update a patient’s real-time medical record. 
          “Bumrungrad International and Orion Health are engaged in a strategic partnership that is a critical component to our day to day success” – Bumrungrad International Corporate Chief Information Officer, Dickon Smart-Gill.
          Orion Health and Bumrungrad are currently exploring an expansion of their relationship to take the Hospital System to a new level and support growth in new markets. Key areas of focus are Clinical Documentation and expanding the functionality within the Electronic Health Record.
